Custom Rate Survey

Help Shape the 2026 Nebraska Custom Rates Report: Register for the Survey Today!

It’s that time again! The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is gathering information for the 2026 Nebraska Custom Rates Survey, and we need your input.

If you provide custom services in Nebraska — whether it’s planting, harvesting, spraying, hauling, or other custom operations — your participation is vital. The data you share becomes part of the biennial Nebraska Custom Rates Report, a trusted resource that farmers, ranchers, and service providers across the state use to set fair rates and make informed decisions.

Why participate?

· Ensure your operation’s rates are represented.

· Contribute to one of the most widely used decision-making resources in Nebraska agriculture.

· Help create a clearer picture of Nebraska’s custom service economy.

How to join Sign up now at https://go.unl.edu/cr26 or with this QR code, to receive the online survey by email or to request a paper copy. The more responses we receive, the more valuable and accurate the report will be.
